I don't know if I would have had that opportunity - the ad said they are looking for "young female singers" though others might try applying, too.
And contrary to appearances, the epithet "young" in popular usage doesn't really describe me.
I had meant to ask, but like I said, I forgot - not that I didn't bother.
I was wondering what choir there is in the first place - don't remember any choir from the soundtrack.
But indeed I could kick myself now.
Not that I'm not busy singing almost every day just now for a concert next week. So, maybe I wouldn't have had time for the rehearsals anyway - the ad also said taking part in the rehearsals was obligatory.
Edit: ok, I just clicked the link in Tom's first post, and also had a look at the event in Cologne, on the choir's homepage and on the event-host's page.
I used to think Howard Shore was conducting this himself, but I find that both in Cologne and in SF it's the same German guy who conducts the performance.
Also, the cheapest prices in SF are much cheaper than the German ones
(although the highest are much higher - weird).
I only would have had to miss one rehearsal, although the last one next week is really awkward, too. Ah well.
Maybe I'll get a cheap ticket, and maybe my friend here, who reminded me some days ago, will come with me.
It would be so much more an incentive to go, if there was a moot combined with it, though.
